    Beautiful, engaging and just outright tremendous game. Everything feels handcrafted and a work of love. The combat is engaging and difficult. The exploration is rewarding and the soundtrack is amazing. This is a must play for any fan of the genre. And even for those who aren't!

    This game is simply amazing! The art is beautiful, the progression and menu pages you find are extremely creative, enemies are challenging and the game doesnt hold your hand, which makes finding secret passages and learning how to advance very rewarding. 10/10, probably the best game I have played in awhile, it surprises me on every turn!

    Overall, Tunic is one of those games that totally leans into its execution to tremendous effect. It doesn’t reinvent or revolutionize its core concepts as much as I would have liked, nor does it bring any one gameplay component into the fold that I haven’t seen before, but the way it does patch everything together with its own sense of style is something to behold for the genre. Despite being a little light on depth and lacking a major gameplay hook of its own, I suspect most who pursue this adventure will find little, if anything, they don’t admire about it.    … Expand

    It's a nostalgic throwback to early Zelda games. However this game has collectible "manual pages" scattered all across the world that give you information on the mechanics of the game as well as how to solve certain puzzles. This was a core mechanic I haven’t seen before. The illustrations in the manual are beautifully retro and it fits thematically in the game (because old adventure games used to have these types of physical illustrated manuals) and the way the manual reveals the secrets of the game to you was at times very rewarding.

    The game has a medium sized, but very packed open world. Sadly the progress route through the game is actually very linear, but not necessarily very clear and traveling around the world is a bit slow. I got stuck in the middle of the game because there was one specific location I needed to go to get a certain item (something straight out of the Zelda games) to proceed, but it was hidden in a way that I walked past it 2 times and used several hours just going around in circles (I managed to solve some endgame puzzles while doing this though). Multiple entrances or a subtle hint telling me that this was the next location I was supposed to go to would’ve made this part of the game less annoying.

    There was also an area (Lower Miasma) that you can drop down to that has a locked door and if you don’t have the key, you’re stuck and you have to either kill your character or reload the game to get out of there. I consider this a design flaw. A shortcut elevator from the checkpoint would have sufficed. Maybe they’ll patch this later.

    Some of the puzzles were pretty hard, but I managed to solve them all without help by systematically going through the world and writing down notes or taking pictures with my phone when I encountered something suspicious. There are some mechanics in late game that help you find the unsolved puzzles/areas that are required for the true ending, but you need to do some exploration and write down notes to get the true ending. Puzzles themselves are pretty good - all of them (except the optional ones) are solvable if you pay attention to your surroundings as well as the game manual. The most obscure ones are optional and actually require you to put some time into figuring them out. I’m pretty sure very few people will solve them without guides, but I don’t mind just reading about them online (just reading about them blew my mind because solving them really requires effort and solving them reveals one final secret message that is definitely worth checking out).

    Bosses were quite easy for me (they usually took 3-5 tries which for me is pretty optimal), but I can see them being hard for someone who doesn’t take the time to find all the upgrade materials around the world. The way you beat the bosses is somewhat similar to Soulsborne games, so experience with their mechanics and slower combat will give you a slight advantage. They’re easier than Soulsborne bosses, but you still need to recognize openings between enemy attacks and mashing buttons will get you killed. One enemy encounter seemed to spike in difficulty, but after a couple of tries I bought some single use items and cheesed the fight.

    Game also shares Soulsborne’s minimalistic, ambiguous storytelling. To have any idea what the story was about, you need to go to the forums or watch a lore video. I prefer stories with character development and understandable goals and motivations. Games like Dark Souls or Inside at least gave me slightly more concrete themes I could latch on to. But then again, I didn’t expect there to be ANY story so I was happy that they at least tried to add some bits of lore for the community to figure out.

    The secret mechanics of this game were so fun that I wished it had more of them! Because of them I’d also recommend not to read about the game too much and just play it. Because of its unique mechanic of collecting the manual pages, this might be one of my favorite Zelda-like games ever. I did get stuck once which was really annoying because I felt I was just wasting time running around areas I had already been to. Using guides for this game is not recommendable so I wish they’d at least make the main path of the game more visible and add a few more shortcuts so that backtracking to some areas wasn’t so time consuming.

    I’d give the game 9/10 (strong recommendation) but because this is a disadvantageous time for smaller adventure games, I’ll give it one bonus point.    … Expand

    Tunic is really something special. I think the combat isn't quite good enough to justify its high difficulty but the world is very well designed. I loved finding pages of an instruction booklet and piecing together what I was supposed to do next. I also found the lore and story to be quite compelling (although too mysterious to fully understand).

    I can get it that most modern players are used to be held by their hands when playing, and it's ok. But don't pretend that in a game intended to use old school mechanics. Is not the game for you, but saying is a cheap ripoff of zelda (when probably most of you don't even played the original 2d zeldas) is just gratuitous hate.

    Tunic is a well made tribute to old 2d zelda games, where each element will help you understand more and progress in the game. It's not for sure an easy game, but it's not even a "hardcore elite" type game.
    The graphics are particular and remind a lot of the recent remake of Link's Awakening. Seeing the nature of the game I guess it does it's job.

    Good game to relax from bigger AAA titles.

I'm a huge classic Zelda fan and loved the indie game Death's Door from last year. I'm about three hours in and incredibly disappointed. The game looks great, but the feel is all wrong. Your character moves like molasses and the combat is simply dreadful - your attacks knock enemies back, but you move incredibly slowly, meaning every encounter, you hit an enemy, then have to close distance to hit it again. You have a stamina meter and dodge a la Dark Souls, but the meter depletes incredibly quickly and replenishes very slowly, so I find myself reluctant to use it for anything. The first boss battle was a tedious slog because the boss moves way faster than you do, and if you try to use your roll (or run, which is initiated by rolling) to close distance, you'll run out of stamina, be unable to block, and take double damage.

    The world design is... all right? There's something odd about the blocky art style though - it's very difficult to tell what connects to what. Several times I've been trying to walk across something, only to hit the 'shift perspective' button and realize that what I thought connected to the platform I was standing on is actually twelve tiles away.

    There are lots of good ideas here but the game badly needed some playtesting to adjust the combat mechanics and flow. Unfortunately, I'm finding it incredibly tedious and not fun at all. If you're looking for a great Zelda-esque title that incorporates some elements of Dark Souls with a compelling story and fun combat, play Death's Door.    … Expand

    I desperately wanted to like this game. I had got the e-mail updates for years while it was being made and was really looking forward to it but, unfortunately, it just doesn't work.

    So much could have been fixed by just giving a small amount of character development and motivation.
    Using so many Zelda tropes but missing out this absolutely vital part of the start of any adventure game makes the experience feel hollow and dull.
    Why am I playing the game? Why should I fight anything? Why should I solve any of these puzzles?
    It's a fundamental part of games design and without it the entire experience doesn't click at a basic level.
    It's perhaps to be expected that a single developer isn't going to make something that Nintendo could, but when it's just a small piece of games design that would only take the developer a few weeks to implement and that would make an incredible difference to the overall product quality, it just feels like such a huge, unfortunate missed opportunity.
    As things stand, if you've never played a good adventure/ARPG game, then Tunic is a serviceable, if underwhelming, introduction to the genre. If you go into this expecting Zelda or anything else in the genre made by an experienced team, then all the hype is going to leave you feeling very underwhelmed.    … Expand

    There's not much that needs to be said regarding this game - take any of the classic Zelda games, and any of the Dark/Demon Souls games, take only the worst mechanics and design choices out of them, turn the repetitiveness up to 11, and here you go: TUNIC.

    The artstyle is really nice, but there's not much asset variety and it all just melts into a blob of bland earthy greens and browns    There's not much that needs to be said regarding this game - take any of the classic Zelda games, and any of the Dark/Demon Souls games, take only the worst mechanics and design choices out of them, turn the repetitiveness up to 11, and here you go: TUNIC.

    The artstyle is really nice, but there's not much asset variety and it all just melts into a blob of bland earthy greens and browns after some time. The interesting ideas, such as finding and building a manual to the game in the game by finding pages of it scattered around the map are all overshadowed by the really really bad game design of the main gameplay loop.

    From soulslike games, we have the combat relying on learning enemy behavior, timing and precise dodging, except the combat also consists of just one weapon with one three-strike combo and a handful of abilities of questionable balance and usefulness. In addition, you can literally just save at bonfires, and it respawns all enemies, which is an absolute pain, because:

    From early Zelda games, it takes linearity and backtracking, and goes absolutely overboard especially in the backtracking part - from the very first minute, I could see paths that I could not access, but it was clear I would get to them later after getting a sword and cutting the surrounding small vegetation down in a suitably Zelda-like fashion, and that would be fine, except these additional paths were largely just shortcuts or additional passages to the places I was already traversing, meaning that their use was to literally allow me to get back to the places where I already was, and this was proven true soon after. Of course, I had then to again participate in the same unsatisfactory combat against the, mostly simplistic and boring, enemies I already killed before, and after next puzzle, I had to go back and do it again to reach a next path, and so on and on.

    A lot of people seem to like the game, so most likely you, the one reading this word-vomit, will enjoy it too, but for me, I just can't see a reason why to play it over Zelda or Dark Souls games, because it wouldn't really stand on its own as either of those, much less a proper combination of them.    … Expand

    Tunic is a game that sells itself as a cute, puzzley, Zelda-y style game. In lures you in with this false premise, however, and quickly devolves into just /another/ game with Dark Souls mechanics.

In lures you in with this false premise, however, and quickly devolves into just /another/ game with Dark Souls mechanics.

    The good: it's cute, controls feel good, the colors and environments are lovingly rendered. Early game gives me a Link to the Past meets Fez vibe, and that kind of exploration and discovery vibe is 100% my jam…unfortunately that’s when all fun stops.

    As soon as I beat the first boss of the game, I was immediately shunted into a new area with /another/ boss, and this one was **** impossible to beat. The game quickly gave way to impossible bosses and large explorable areas with SWARMS of enemies that will chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you if you don’t kill them first or get to a bonfire, uhhh…I mean save point.

    Look, Dark Souls absolutely has its fanbase and absolutely has a right to exist. That being said, I **** hate DS game mechanics. The mechanics of
    (1) Every enemy respawns when you use a bonfire
    (2) Leveling up and only being able to refill Estus at bonfires
    (3) Impossible, rage-inducing bosses
    (4) Swarms of enemies on a map that will hunt you brutally because **** you
    (5) Unable to progress in another way until you open the mandatory linear path.

    I don’t /like/ that gameplay loop, and quite frankly Tunic very lazily copy and pastes this formula into their own world without thought for how it affects the exploration or the player experience. Why build such a beautiful game that in the first two hours is such a delightful, pleasant experience, only to rip that feeling away and say “lol, it’s just Dark Souls now”.

    Additionally, there are /mandatory/ linear path progression points that are hidden in ways that THE PLAYER CANNOT SEE THEM. Due to the limitations of the top-down isometric viewpoint, you cannot rotate the camera in 3D (a la Fez). So…the dev’s used this as an excuse (challenge?) to just hide ESSENTIAL ladders and ropes behind walls and scenery that you have to blindly guess as to where they are? **** actually off. That’s not fun, nor challenging, it’s just ****

    Long story short, I loved the art and early feel of this game, but then the game decided to ruin itself with poor accessibility settings, bad level design, and Dark Souls mechanics. Seriously game devs, if all you can think of is “What if we copied Dark Souls?”, maybe you shouldn’t be in game development. Not every game needs to be **** Dark Souls.    … Expand

    Tunic is truly a masterpiece of game design: a modern day Zelda with all the complexity it needs to thrive with gamers today. If you like running around a beautiful fantasy land, sword fighting fantasy baddies, or translating ancient languages, Tunic will have something for you to sink your teeth into. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend picking this foxy little gem up.
